What's your RPM Range in the Twistys?

True! but were not talking about track are we? thats a different story...

You are correct. However, you missed the point. Point being, everyone needs to master braking. Most street riders have poor braking skills. That's why you see very few brake lights on twisty rides.

....and why there is a lot of "All I did was touch the rear brake to scrub a lil speed!"

Even staying on the gas without any acceleration is a lot better than coasting.

Staying on the gas in a corner without accelleration is coasting. You must accellerate in order to overcome drag or you are decellerating ie. coasting.

Once you set your entry speed you should neither accellerate or decellerate through the apex of the twisty. This requires more than neutral throttle.

Proper cornering is all about throttle control. Where, when and how much throttle is applied determines speed, lean angle and traction (Wet or dry).

For me, in a typical set of tight bends:
Riding hard/attacking: 2st-3rd gear, 7000RPM+
Riding easy/relaxing: 3rd-5th gear, 3000-7000RPM
